Magdalenka Hill, Poland [4K], aerial video
The name Magdalenka (little Magdalene) is a popular term to describe the 20-kilometre bike route atop Mary Magdalene hill in Malawa, in the Wisłok valley several kilometres away from downtown Rzeszów. This picturesque and hilly route is also part of the longer tourist route from Rzeszów to Łańcut. Its main advantage is undoubtedly the view - while en route, you will have a chance to see impressive deep ravines and many cute little forests. Apart from that, at the elevation of 394
metres above sea level there is a mound called Patria, and slightly below, at 373 metres above sea level - 18th-century Baroque St. Mary Magdalene Church. The route runs through Wola
Rafałowska village, first mentioned in the books in 1450. An altar with a wooden painted triptych from 1613 at The Holy Trinity Church is definitely worth seeing. Moreover, you will have passed
another village, Chmielnik Rzeszowski, where Polish National Army officer Jan Bałda, aka. Żbik ran his operations, and a year later the underground newspaper opened its office there. Mineral
water springs are also one of the attractions.

A 900-Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of Eishyshok: Revisiting a Lost World (1998)
Eišiškės is mentioned for the first time in the Treaty of Königsberg (1384) between Vytautas the Great and the Teutonic Knights. East of the town there is a castle site, dating back from the 14th–15th centuries. Historian Ignas Jonynas argued that Anna, Grand Duchess of Lithuania and wife of Vytautas the Great was a sister of Sudimantas,[6] a nobleman from Eišiškės and commander of Vytautas' army.[7] An important route, connecting Vilnius, Hrodna, and Warsaw, ran through the town. Protected by the castle and boasting a church built by Vytautas, the town became one of the important trading centers in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It had a court and here nobles gathered for a sejmik.[8]
Eišiškės was sacked and burned in 1655 during the Muscovite invasion and in 1706 during the Great Northern War.[1] The town lost majority of inhabitants and lost its former status as a trade center. At the end of the 17th century, in hopes to revive the economy Eišiškės were granted Magdeburg rights and became known for its horse and cattle markets.[8] The former market square and surrounding streets are protected as urban heritage since 1969.[9] The town's importance decreased after the partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, especially after it was sacked during the French invasion of Russia. However, the town grew rapidly following the Uprising of 1863 and abolition of serfdom.[8] After few devastating fires, residents started constructing brick buildings. The town continued to be known for its markets and for its carriages.[8] Eišiškės was part of the Nowogródek Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic during the interwar years. During World War II, the town witnessed some fighting between Polish Armia Krajowa, Nazi Wehrmacht, and Soviet Red Army.
According to Jewish sources, there were tombstones dating from as early as 1097 at the former Jewish cemetery, making Eshishok one of the oldest Jewish settlements in Eastern Europe.[8] In the 18th century, the Jewish population accounted for about half of the population, and as the town grew, the proportion of Jewish residents increased, hitting a peak of 80% in 1820.[8] Jews dominated trade and crafts: in 1935 out of 117 enterprises, 106 belonged to Jews.
German troops arrived in Eišiškės on June 23, 1941, and on September 21, 1941, an SS Mobile Killing Squad entered the town, accompanied by Lithuanian auxiliaries. More than four thousand Jews from Eishishok and its neighboring towns and villages were first imprisoned in three synagogues and then taken in groups of 250 to the old Jewish cemetery where SS men ordered them to undress and stand at the edge of open pits. There, Lithuanian auxiliary troops shot them to death.[10] The old cemetery is now a site of remembrance with a memorial stone in three languages. The new cemetery was destroyed in 1953 and turned into the yard of a kindergarten.[8] Some of the private Jewish buildings survive and are protected as part of the urban heritage. One school is now a library, while another was demolished.[8]
There are no Jews living in the town today. The history of Jewish Eishyshok has been documented in the book There Once Was A World by Yaffa Eliach, professor at Brooklyn College.

First Visit to Eastern Europe Since WWII
Holocaust Survivor returns to Eastern Europe with her family 68 years after liberation. This incredible journey took her back to Auschwitz - Birkenau as a tourist rather than a prisoner, and allowed her to reconnect with a long lost friend.
Subutai
Subutai was a Tuva Turkic general, and the primary military strategist of Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan. He directed more than twenty campaigns in which he conquered thirty-two nations and won sixty-five pitched battles, during which he conquered or overran more territory than any other commander in history. He gained victory by means of imaginative and sophisticated strategies and routinely coordinated movements of armies that were hundreds of kilometers away from each other. He is also remembered for devising the campaign that destroyed the armies of Hungary and Poland within two days of each other, by forces over five hundred kilometers apart.
